BS EN 60068-4:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the tests to be carried out on equipment in order to determine its ability to withstand specified severities of non-operating conditions. This standard is part of the BS EN 60068 series of environmental testing standards, which cover a wide range of conditions including temperature, humidity, vibration, shock, and more.
BS EN 60068-4:1996 specifically deals with the test for "damp heat, steady state", which is designed to assess the ability of equipment to withstand the effects of high humidity and temperature over a prolonged period of time. The standard outlines the test procedures, including the test duration, temperature and humidity levels, and the types of equipment that should be used to conduct the test.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that equipment can operate reliably and safely under a range of environmental conditions, and that it meets the requirements of relevant safety standards. It is typically used by manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies to evaluate the environmental performance of equipment and to ensure that it is fit for purpose.
